Tatamy Clears Ordinance On Contruction Site Cleanups

Tatamy Borough Council approved an ordinance recently that will make construction personnel and property owners responsible for disposing on-site construction materials and keeping roadways clean.

Council had received numerous complaints about construction materials and mud leaving construction sites. Violation of the ordinance carries a fine of up to $300 or imprisonment for up to 90 days.

In other business, council is continuing work on providing public sewers for the borough through a connection to the Easton sewer treatment plant. Council discussed, but has not made a decision, on where to send the borough's garbage.

Three mass burn incinerators have been proposed for the Lehigh Valley and the state is requiring each municipality to provide a five-year plan for solid waste disposal.
